Henson puppets 'Stuffed & Unstrung' at Pabst Theater April 13

Ever wonder what Muppets would say if someone else was pulling the strings? About the closest thing to it is "Henson Alternative: Stuffed & Unstrung," a live, adults-only improv comedy show featuring Jim Henson Company puppeteers. It'll be at the Pabst Theater at 8 p.m. April 13.

This definitely ain't "Sesame Street," and these aren't the Muppets. It's six Henson puppeteers - out in the open - with 80 puppets, working up bits and sketches onstage. Their efforts are also shown on a big screen behind them. This New York Post report gives you a taste of the experience.

Tickets, at $29.50 and $45, go on sale at noon Dec. 7 at the box offices of the Pabst, 144 E. Wells St., and Riverside Theater, 116 W. Wisconsin Ave., or by calling (414) 286-3663 or going to www.pabsttheater.org.
